Summary of the contracting process

The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Northamptonshire, for Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Authority, procured wildfire backpacks, branch spares and cutting equipment. This is a goods requirement covering firefighting, rescue and safety equipment, including CPV codes 35111000 and 35110000. The equipment is intended for use in Northamptonshire. The requirement combines specialist wildfire response equipment with replacement branch components and cutting tools, so relevant suppliers would need to provide the equipment itself across these categories rather than general fire and rescue services. The purchasing authority is a sub-central public authority. The requirement is arranged as one completed lot and concerns a call-off contract for the Authority’s operational firefighting needs.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Terberg DTS UK Limited was selected as the supplier. It used a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. The original call-off had an upper value of £64,000 excluding VAT, or £76,800 including VAT, with no commitment to spend the full amount. The active contract is valued at £89,500 excluding VAT (£107,400 including VAT). It was signed on 7 August 2025 and runs from 8 August 2026 to 7 August 2027. Three 12-month extension options are available, giving a maximum period to 7 August 2029. The contract covers one lot. The award record does not set out a competitive evaluation basis because the contract was awarded directly without competition.

This procurement indicates established demand from Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Authority for a combined supply of wildfire backpacks, branch spares and cutting equipment. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would be able to provide firefighting, rescue and safety equipment as a coordinated product range, including both complete wildfire response packs and replacement or ancillary components. Credibility would come from dependable sourcing, product knowledge and the capacity to support an operational fire and rescue customer over an initial contract period with possible multi-year extensions. The route used here was a below-threshold direct call-off without competition, so businesses monitoring this buyer should understand its use of direct purchasing arrangements rather than assume that every future requirement will be openly competed.
